Considerations about the Kandaharnama of Mirza Abdul Qader Toni

Kandaharnama, a work by Mirza Abdu’l Qader Tuni is a historical epic of the Safavid era, that it’s only existing manuscript is incomplete and has not yet been edited. This research, while introduce this manuscript and review its lifetime, compares its events with other historical works. The review of the text of the allegations shows that the most prominent quotes about Kandaharnama is Tazkara-e- Nasrabadi, which believes the auther’s name of kandaharnama is Mirza Abdu’l- Qader Tuni. Some of the words used in Tazkara-yi Nasrabadi and Qosas u’l-Khaqani are different from Kandaharnama.So this differences reflects the other version of Kandaharnama, that Nasrabadi and Vali Ghuli Shamlu have used it , but today it is not available. The usage of the poetry of the poems of this work to describe the wars of the Kings Shah Safi and Shah Abbas II and the details of the events that are only mentioned in this manuscript, shows the importance and value of the historical information of Kandaharnama, as the generalities of the events of this work are similar to the other historical books of the Safavid era, and only in some details, there are heterogeneities.
